Will & Paige's Wedding

We had the BEST TIME at Will & Paige's wedding weekend! I am so sad that it is over and behind us.

We kicked off the fun with a drive to Kansas City on Thursday to meet our good friends Jeff & Steph for dinner.  This was our first time meeting their baby girl, I couldn't give her enough kisses!

Headed to KC!



Taylor was eyeing Elle's pizza. :)


After dinner we drive to Lees Summit and checked into our hotel. The long naps in the car meant these two were wiiiiide awake.


Elle doing some light reading before hitting the pool with daddy for a late night swim. 


Ollie stayed in the room with me to go to bed.  He loved this mirror.  He would look at himself and just laugh.


One of Elle's favorite parts of hotel life was going downstairs for breakfast. She actually told me she doesn't like our house anymore because it's too "normal" and that she wants to live in the hotel. :)

Baby boy could barely see over the table to reach his Fruit Loops. 


Friday morning after breakfast we hit the pool! Neither of my kids are very adventurous swimmers yet so it was a lot of holding them in the water.


After the pool and showers I got a text from my Aunt Colleen that they had arrived!!
I was so excited to go to their room and see them!

Elle and Ollie were of course very shy at first but I was so surprised at how quickly Elle opened up to them. Granted, they are the best and Elle had heard me rave about them.  I love that she had a chance to hang out and fall in love with them too. 


Eric and I took our 2 for lunch (Ollie fell asleep in Culvers after eating 1 french fry) and then walked back to the room so Elle and Eric could join Ollie for his nap.

I heard a rumor that the Voss boys were running wild at the pool so I had to go see my boys!
They were having SO MUCH FUN swimming with Uncle Bill...or Unc Bill as Charlie called him. 


Ollie giving himself more kisses in the mirror.


I took Elle to my Aunt Colleen's room so she could french braid her hair for the wedding rehearsal.
I feel like this was a full circle moment...I remember sitting in hotel rooms having her braid my hair and here I was watching her with my daughter. :)


Ollie and Unc at the church.  The crowd was overwhelming to Ollie boy. 


Ring-bearer and flower girl!


The dinner my parents hosted after was so amazing!! 4 courses of super yummy food!



My kids LOVE Italian food so the meatballs and toasted ravioli cocktail appetizers were a huge hit with them. Not to mention there dinner of spaghetti and pizza.  They were in heaven!


Late night swim #2 for this girl! Can you tell she's excited?
I don't think she was in bed before midnight for 3 days straight. 
#yikes



Playing catch with Aunt Mary in the pool was the highlight of her weekend.  She is still talking about it!


Showered and ready for bed in her new Peppa Pig jammies from Aunt Mary and Aunt Colleen!


The wedding day!!
In Paige's suite waiting to get our hair done.

MiMi was Elle's bestie on this morning.
Trying to catch Fruit Loops in their mouths.



Sissy's pretty updo!



These two looked so handsome!


Dress in one hand, Jimmy John's in the other. :)


This face!!

If you've never seen this face consider yourself lucky! She is not happy about something!


How pretty does Mama Rita look?!




My girl. :)


Too cute for his own good!!
My dad had to carry him down the aisle, leaving all 4 kids in the back with him while Mary and I walked down the aisle was...chaotic.  Poor dad!


Dare I say the cutest flower girl I've ever seen?!



Party bus time!











Oliver ADORES Henry!



After Will and Paige cut the cake he brought a bite over for Elle.
He is the best Unc to these babies!!




One of my favorite pics!



Such a fun weekend! So happy for Will and Paige and so grateful that she is apart of our family forever.
